 ## E2E Testing
 
-E2E coverage exists, but it is intentionally not part of the normal development path.
+E2E tests exercise the full stack (backend + frontend + real radio hardware) via Playwright.
 
-These tests are only guaranteed to run correctly in a narrow subset of environments; they require a busy mesh with messages arriving constantly, an available autodetect-able radio, and a contact in the test database (which you can provide in `tests/e2e/.tmp/e2e-test.db` after an initial run). E2E tests are generally not necessary to run for normal development work.
+> [!WARNING]
+> E2E tests are **not part of the normal development path** — most contributors will never need to run them. They exist to catch integration issues that unit tests can't and generally only need to be run by maintainers.
+
+### Hardware requirements
+
+- A MeshCore radio connected via serial (auto-detected, or set `MESHCORE_SERIAL_PORT`)
+- The radio must be powered on and past its startup sequence before tests begin
+
+### Running
 
 ```bash
 cd tests/e2e
 npm install
-npx playwright test # headless
-npx playwright test --headed # you can probably guess
+npx playwright install chromium  # first time only
+npx playwright test              # headless
+npx playwright test --headed     # watch it run
+```
+
+The test harness starts its own uvicorn instance on port 8001 with a fresh temporary database. Your development server (port 8000) is unaffected.
+
+### Test tiers
+
+**Most tests (22 of 28) are fully self-contained.** They seed their own data via API calls or direct DB writes and need only a connected radio. These cover messaging, pagination, search, favorites, settings, fanout integrations, historical decryption, and all UI-only views.
+
+**Mesh-traffic tests (tagged `@mesh-traffic`)** wait up to 3 minutes for an incoming message from another node on the network. If no traffic arrives, they fail with an advisory that the failure may be RF conditions, not a bug. These are: `incoming-message` and `packet-feed` (second test only).
+
+**The partner-radio DM ACK test (tagged `@partner-radio`)** validates direct-route learning by sending a DM and waiting for an ACK. It requires a second radio in range that has your test radio in its contacts. Configure the partner node's public key and name via `E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_PUBKEY` and `E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_NAME`.
+
+### Making mesh-traffic tests reliable: the echo bot
+
+The most practical way to guarantee incoming traffic is to run an **echo bot on a second radio** monitoring a known channel. When the test suite starts a `@mesh-traffic` test, it sends a trigger message to that channel. If a bot on another radio is listening, it replies — generating the incoming RF packet the test needs within seconds instead of waiting for organic mesh traffic.
+
+The test suite sends `!echo please give incoming message` to the echo channel (default `#flightless`) at the start of each `@mesh-traffic` test. The trigger message is configurable via `E2E_ECHO_TRIGGER_MESSAGE`.
+
+Setup:
+1. Set up a second MeshCore radio within RF range of your test radio
+2. Run a RemoteTerm instance on the second radio
+3. Configure a bot on the second radio that monitors the echo channel and replies when it sees the trigger. Example bot code:
+   ```python
+   def bot(sender_name, sender_key, message_text, is_dm,
+           channel_key, channel_name, sender_timestamp, path):
+       if "!echo" in message_text.lower():
+           return f"[ECHO] {message_text}"
+       return None
+   ```
+4. The test suite calls `nudgeEchoBot()` automatically — no manual intervention needed
+
+Without the echo bot, `@mesh-traffic` tests rely on organic traffic from other nodes. In a quiet RF environment they will time out.
+
+### Environment variables
+
+All E2E environment configuration is centralized in `tests/e2e/helpers/env.ts` with defaults that work for the maintainer's test rig. Override via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `MESHCORE_SERIAL_PORT` | auto-detect | Serial port for the test radio |
+| `E2E_ECHO_CHANNEL` | `#flightless` | Channel the echo bot monitors for traffic generation |
+| `E2E_ECHO_TRIGGER_MESSAGE` | `!echo please give incoming message` | Message sent to nudge the echo bot |
+| `E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_PUBKEY` | *(maintainer's test node)* | 64-char hex public key of a node that will ACK DMs from your radio |
+| `E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_NAME` | *(maintainer's test node)* | Display name of that node (used in UI assertions) |
+
+Example for a contributor with their own two-radio setup:
+
+```bash
+E2E_ECHO_CHANNEL="#mytest" \
+E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_PUBKEY="abcd1234...full64charhexkey..." \
+E2E_PARTNER_RADIO_NAME="MyTestNode" \
+npx playwright test
 ```

+# Home Assistant Integration
+
+RemoteTerm can publish mesh network data to Home Assistant via MQTT Discovery. Devices and entities appear automatically in HA -- no custom component or HACS install needed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Home Assistant with the [MQTT integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/) configured
+- An MQTT broker (e.g. Mosquitto) accessible to both HA and RemoteTerm
+- RemoteTerm running and connected to a radio
+
+## Setup
+
+1. In RemoteTerm, go to **Settings > Integrations > Add > Home Assistant MQTT Discovery**
+2. Enter your MQTT broker host and port (same broker HA is connected to)
+3. Optionally enter broker username/password and TLS settings
+4. Select contacts for GPS tracking and repeaters for telemetry (see below)
+5. Configure which messages should fire events (scope selector at the bottom)
+6. Save and enable
+
+Devices will appear in HA under **Settings > Devices & Services > MQTT** within a few seconds.
+
+## What Gets Created
+
+### Local Radio Device
+
+Always created. Updates every 60 seconds.
+
+| Entity | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `binary_sensor.meshcore_*_connected` | Connectivity | Radio online/offline |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_noise_floor` | Signal strength | Radio noise floor (dBm) |
+
+### Repeater Devices
+
+One device per tracked repeater (must have repeater opted). Updates when telemetry is collected (auto-collect cycle (~8 hours), or when you manually fetch from the repeater dashboard).
+
+Repeaters must first be added to the auto-telemetry tracking list in RemoteTerm's Radio settings section. Only auto-tracked repeaters appear in the HA integration's repeater picker.
+
+| Entity | Type | Unit | Description |
+|--------|------|------|-------------|
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_battery_voltage` | Voltage | V | Battery level |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_noise_floor` | Signal strength | dBm | Local noise floor |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_last_rssi` | Signal strength | dBm | Last received signal strength |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_last_snr` | -- | dB | Last signal-to-noise ratio |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_packets_received` | -- | count | Total packets received |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_packets_sent` | -- | count | Total packets sent |
+| `sensor.meshcore_*_uptime` | Duration | s | Uptime since last reboot |
+
+### Contact Device Trackers
+
+One `device_tracker` per tracked contact. Updates passively whenever RemoteTerm hears an advertisement with GPS coordinates from that contact. No radio commands are sent -- it piggybacks on normal mesh traffic.
+
+| Entity | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `device_tracker.meshcore_*` | GPS position (latitude/longitude) |
+
+### Message Event Entity
+
+A single `event.meshcore_messages` entity that fires for each message matching your configured scope. Each event carries these attributes:
+
+| Attribute | Example | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `event_type` | `message_received` | Always `message_received` |
+| `sender_name` | `Alice` | Display name of the sender |
+| `sender_key` | `aabbccdd...` | Sender's public key |
+| `text` | `hello` | Message body |
+| `message_type` | `PRIV` or `CHAN` | Direct message or channel |
+| `channel_name` | `#general` | Channel name (null for DMs) |
+| `conversation_key` | `aabbccdd...` | Contact key (DM) or channel key |
+| `outgoing` | `false` | Whether you sent this message |
+
+## Entity Naming
+
+Entity IDs use the first 12 characters of the node's public key as an identifier. For example, a contact with public key `ae92577bae6c...` gets entity ID `device_tracker.meshcore_ae92577bae6c`. You can rename entities in HA's UI without affecting the integration.
+
+## Common Automations
+
+### Low repeater battery alert
+
+Notify when a tracked repeater's battery drops below a threshold.
+
+**GUI:** Settings > Automations > Create > Numeric state trigger on `sensor.meshcore_*_battery_voltage`, below `3.8`, action: notification.
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Repeater battery low"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: numeric_state
+        entity_id: sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_battery_voltage
+        below: 3.8
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "Repeater Battery Low"
+          message: >-
+            {{ state_attr('sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_battery_voltage', 'friendly_name') }}
+            is at {{ states('sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_battery_voltage') }}V
+```
+
+### Radio offline alert
+
+Notify if the radio has been disconnected for more than 5 minutes.
+
+**GUI:** Settings > Automations > Create > State trigger on `binary_sensor.meshcore_*_connected`, to `off`, for `00:05:00`, action: notification.
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Radio offline"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: binary_sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_connected
+        to: "off"
+        for: "00:05:00"
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "MeshCore Radio Offline"
+          message: "Radio has been disconnected for 5 minutes"
+```
+
+### Alert on any message from a specific room
+
+Trigger when a message arrives in a specific channel. Two approaches:
+
+#### Option A: Scope filtering (fully GUI, no template)
+
+If you only care about one room, configure the HA integration's message scope to "Only listed channels" and select that room. Then every event fire is from that room.
+
+**GUI:** Settings > Automations > Create > State trigger on `event.meshcore_messages`, action: notification.
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Emergency channel alert"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: event.meshcore_messages
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "Message in #emergency"
+          message: >-
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.sender_name }}:
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.text }}
+```
+
+#### Option B: Template condition (multiple rooms, one integration)
+
+Keep scope as "All messages" and filter in the automation. The trigger is GUI, but the condition uses a one-line template.
+
+**GUI:** Settings > Automations > Create > State trigger on `event.meshcore_messages` > Add condition > Template > enter the template below.
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Emergency channel alert"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: event.meshcore_messages
+    condition:
+      - condition: template
+        value_template: >-
+          {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.channel_name == '#emergency' }}
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "Message in #emergency"
+          message: >-
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.sender_name }}:
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.text }}
+```
+
+### Alert on DM from a specific contact
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "DM from Alice"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: event.meshcore_messages
+    condition:
+      - condition: template
+        value_template: >-
+          {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.message_type == 'PRIV'
+             and trigger.to_state.attributes.sender_name == 'Alice' }}
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "DM from Alice"
+          message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.text }}"
+```
+
+### Alert on messages containing a keyword
+
+**YAML:**
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Keyword alert"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: event.meshcore_messages
+    condition:
+      - condition: template
+        value_template: >-
+          {{ 'emergency' in trigger.to_state.attributes.text | lower }}
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_phone
+        data:
+          title: "Emergency keyword detected"
+          message: >-
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.sender_name }} in
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.channel_name or 'DM' }}:
+            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.text }}
+```
+
+### Track a contact on the HA map
+
+No automation needed. Once a contact is selected for GPS tracking, their `device_tracker` entity automatically appears on the HA map. Go to **Settings > Dashboards > Map** (or add a Map card to any dashboard) and the tracked contact will show up when they advertise their GPS position.
+
+### Dashboard card showing repeater battery
+
+Add a sensor card to any dashboard:
+
+```yaml
+type: sensor
+entity: sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_battery_voltage
+name: "Hilltop Repeater Battery"
+```
+
+Or an entities card for multiple repeaters:
+
+```yaml
+type: entities
+title: "Repeater Status"
+entities:
+  - entity: sensor.meshcore_aabbccddeeff_battery_voltage
+    name: "Hilltop"
+  - entity: sensor.meshcore_ccdd11223344_battery_voltage
+    name: "Valley"
+  - entity: sensor.meshcore_eeff55667788_battery_voltage
+    name: "Ridge"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Devices don't appear in HA
+
+- Verify the MQTT integration is configured in HA (**Settings > Devices & Services > MQTT**) and shows "Connected"
+- Verify RemoteTerm's HA integration shows "Connected" (green dot)
+- Check that both HA and RemoteTerm are using the same MQTT broker
+- Subscribe to discovery topics to verify messages are flowing:
+  ```
+  mosquitto_sub -h <broker> -t 'homeassistant/#' -v
+  ```
+
+### Stale or duplicate devices
+
+If you see unexpected devices (e.g. a generic "MeshCore Radio" alongside your named radio), clear the stale retained messages:
+```
+mosquitto_pub -h <broker> -t 'homeassistant/binary_sensor/meshcore_unknown/connected/config' -r -n
+mosquitto_pub -h <broker> -t 'homeassistant/sensor/meshcore_unknown/noise_floor/config' -r -n
+```
+
+### Repeater sensors show "Unknown" or "Unavailable"
+
+Repeater telemetry only updates when collected. Trigger a manual fetch by opening the repeater's dashboard in RemoteTerm and clicking "Status", or wait for the next auto-collect cycle (~8 hours). Sensors show "Unknown" until the first telemetry reading arrives.
+
+### Contact device tracker shows "Unknown"
+
+The contact's GPS position only updates when RemoteTerm hears an advertisement from that node that includes GPS coordinates. If the contact's device doesn't broadcast GPS or hasn't advertised recently, the tracker will show as unknown.
+
+### Entity is "Unavailable"
+
+Radio health entities have a 120-second expiry. If RemoteTerm stops sending health updates (e.g. it's shut down or loses connection to the broker), HA marks the entities as unavailable after 2 minutes. Restart RemoteTerm or check the broker connection.
+
+## Removing the Integration
+
+Disabling or deleting the HA integration in RemoteTerm's settings publishes empty retained messages to all discovery topics, which removes the devices and entities from HA automatically.
+
+## MQTT Topics Reference
+
+State topics (where data is published):
+
+| Topic | Content | Update frequency |
+|-------|---------|-----------------|
+| `meshcore/{node_id}/health` | `{"connected": bool, "noise_floor_dbm": int}` | Every 60s |
+| `meshcore/{node_id}/telemetry` | `{"battery_volts": float, ...}` | ~8h or manual |
+| `meshcore/{node_id}/gps` | `{"latitude": float, "longitude": float, ...}` | On advert |
+| `meshcore/events/message` | `{"event_type": "message_received", ...}` | On message |
+
+Discovery topics (entity registration, under `homeassistant/`):
+
+| Pattern | Entity type |
+|---------|------------|
+| `homeassistant/binary_sensor/meshcore_*/connected/config` | Radio connectivity |
+| `homeassistant/sensor/meshcore_*/noise_floor/config` | Noise floor sensor |
+| `homeassistant/sensor/meshcore_*/battery_voltage/config` | Repeater battery |
+| `homeassistant/sensor/meshcore_*/*/config` | Other repeater sensors |
+| `homeassistant/device_tracker/meshcore_*/config` | Contact GPS tracker |
+| `homeassistant/event/meshcore_messages/config` | Message event entity |
+
+The `{node_id}` is always the first 12 characters of the node's public key, lowercased.
